Question One: What are the characteristics of a cell?
Question Two: How are plant and animal cells different and how are they the same?


Task One: Explain how plant and animal cells are similar and how they are different.Zach, Carter
Task Two: Explain how growth and reproduction of living organisms depends on cell division. Andrew H., Brooke, Zack
Task Three:Model and explain how the semi permeable membranes of cells work and how diffusion and osmosis work. Andrew P., Parth
Task Four:Identify and explain the function of all the cell structures including: cell wall, cell membrane, vacuole, nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondria and chloroplast. Katrina, Lilla, Hina

Task One: Research and explain the ideas and theories that used to explain what human bodies are made of. (ex. Some cultures believed that the human body was made of only fire, air and water) Emma, Sheilagh
Task Two: Describe how the following tissues are made up: muscle, nerve, epithelial and connective. Cody, Akrama,H oneylene
Task Three: Represent the relationship among cells, tissues, organs and organ systems when explaining the following systems; the respiratory system, circulatory system, digestive system, excretory system, and nervous system. Teo, Salman, Tyler Rain
(choose one system each, so basically you are on your own until it's time to prepare for your Workshop Day)


Question Four: How do organs and organs systems contribute to the healthy functioning of the human body?
Task One: Describe how various body systems work together to accomplish tasks like eating, running and sleeping.
Ahmed, Nicole, Riya
Task Two: Show examples of how the body reacts to viruses, bacteria, and alcohol, drugs, dust, and temperature changes. Explain how these affect your body systems such as respiratory, circulatory, digestive, and excretory and nervous system. Jonathon, Sasha
Task Three: Demonstrate how the organ systems work together to get and use nutrients and oxygen and how the body removes wastes. Olivia, Maryam, August
Task Four: Show how the removal or failure of one or more organs affects the body. Show how artificial technologies like pacemakers, artificial limbs, organ transplants etc. can help the body function. Discuss any ethical or personal issues that they may bring up. Bilal, Kayla, Sheroze
